Background: The increase in the number of deaths of patients suffering from hypertension has attracted research into evidence-based models that can not only address the mortality, but also the healthcare costs meant to respond to the scourge. Adherence to antihypertensive therapy is one of the best ways of reducing the levels of hypertension among patients already diagnosed with the disease. However, most of the people living in the US especially African Americans lack the education on hypertension medication, which is a viable area of research. Objective: The purpose of this project is to evaluate if the use of an evidenced-based educational program delivered to African Americans being treated with antihypertensive medications can improve adherence to antihypertensive medications and blood pressure control. Method: The research was conducted with a sample of 30 participants on antihypertensive medication attending Redeemed Church of God Sacramento. The participants were subjected to a structured interdisciplinary education program on blood pressure, knowledge, anthropometric measures, medication compliance, and the behavioral risk factors of hypertension for a period of three months. The Hill-Bone Compliance to High Blood Pressure Therapy Scale was utilized to measure outcomes of the program, while each participant's blood pressure was checked at pre and post intervention. Results: There was a statistically significant decrease in Hill-Bone scores from pre-intervention to post-intervention, Z = -4.46, p < 0.001. There was a statistically significant decrease in systolic blood pressure, t(29) = 6.18, p < 0.001, and in diastolic blood pressure, t(29) = 5.41, p < 0.00.
